Healthier Chocolate Brownies: gluten and wheat free.

This week California Prunes were kind enough to send me some samples of their delicious, juice prunes. They came individually wrapped which I thought was a bit quirky and great if you just wanted one at a time but a bit of a faff if you wanted more than one.

The prunes themselves really are tasty, they are large, succulent and just not the same as the ones I normally get from the supermarket. Extra special prunes indeed!

I was sent a Chocolate Brownie recipe with the prunes, which really tickled my fancy as I have been fancying making chocolate brownies for a while. They aren’t something we make often as they are a bit of a treat, but being pregnant I am definitely feeling the need for a bit more chocolate in my life right now! So I set about adapting the recipe to make it gluten and wheat free and also reduced the chocolate and sugar in it. Making your own brownies means you can regulate the amount of sugar, butter and chocolate that goes in, so they are healthier than a bought version 😉
